Don''t believe the scuttlebutt about these great boats unless you''ve heard it from someone who has one. They are NOT any more tender than most other boats their size in senseable conditions. They are a great value for the size in a coastal cruiser. Sure, they have their share of the SAME PROBLEMS ANY 20 YEAR OLD BOAT WILL HAVE.

We love our 305! We refitted her and are currently cruising. After living on her 7 years she will carry us well the next 4 years. But as with anything in life your skills should go hand in hand with the equipment. S/V Ka-Em-Te

There are Buccaneers and then there are Bucaneers. Some are at least designs from recognized and well regarded designers.

The 305 (Bill Garden), the 22 and 25 (they became the US22/US 25 -Gary Mull designs) and the 295 and 33 (Doug Peterson) at least have decent pedigrees.

The shoal draft/high freeboard 21/24/etc are simply scary boats (IMO of course)

But hey, whatever gets you out there!

A seven year old thread resurrected! This must be a record.

Trish-

I seriously doubt that jollymon cares...since the thread is SEVEN YEARS OLD... please don't resurrect dead threads... I'm glad you love your 305...but please check the dates on the posts you're replying to.

I'd also recommend you read this post to get the most out of your time on sailnet, and welcome to sailnet.

I am new to the message boards---so I hope I am doing this correctly. We just obtained an older Buccaneer. The sailbag says she is a 210. She is 21 foot and has the short keel. What I am really looking for is some place to get a replacement kit for the interior wall materials, which are peeling off. Aside from that--she's actually in pretty good shape. Also--since I am living in a fairly un-sailboat area, does anyone know of sailmakers who either have or make sails for this boat? The sails appear to be in ok condition, but there are only two. Since the wind can get pretty light on Pend Oreille, I need to get a big Jenny for her. Is it possible to rig this boat with roller reefing?

Thanks!

Yes, you can absolutely add roller furling to your boat. For a quote on a furler and genny, try contacting one of the online sailmakers such as FX Sails which is a sponsor of this site or Cruising Direct which is a division of North Sails. Any sailmaker will have the dimensions of your rig and can custom make sails for you.
